AISPLB demands commissions for Shia Muslims

Lucknow: All India Shia Personal Law Board
on Friday urged the government to constitute commissions to study
the socio-economic status of Shia Muslims.

"The Centre should constitute commissions to study social,
economic, political and educational status of Shia Muslims so
that their condition could be made better by giving them due
representation," AISPLB spokesman Maulana Yasoob Abbas told
reporters here.

He said Shia Muslims should be given reservation and
political parties should also consider their candidature in
elections.
